If you like M-nus techno be sure to check out Heartthrob - Dear Painter, Paint Me

actually have the entire m-nus catalog; been in to hawtin's work when he started out with his plus 8 label. but thanks for the recommendation - and, i agree, heartthrob is quite good, manages to both reflect & transcend the m-nus sound.

- Tangerine Dream Phaedra Revisited 35th Anniversary Edition & Views from a Red Train (Purple Pyramid) • 'used' (though sealed) and cheap, figured why not, more out of curiosity than anything else...Train isn't bad, will have to see if Froese's 'remix' of Phaedra is worth a damn.- Trey Gunn Untune the Sky (Inside Out) (CD & DVD) • used- The Buggles Adventures in Modern Recording (reissue) • already had the original Japanese-only Jimco version (so much for the sticker's claim of "1st time on CD") but this one is remastered w/alot of extra tracks; their underrated 2nd & final album.- Edward Ka-Spel Red Letters (Soleilmoon) • EkS's work as a solo artist seems to continually outshine his exploits with parent band LPD, and this one's no exception...true, his music is something of an acquired taste, but when he's on, it clicks, and his compositions always reveal a devilishly fertile imagination at work.- 23 Skidoo Just Like Everybody (LTM reissue) • have dug these gents since their very beginnings in the post-punk aftermath of the early 80s, when they were aligned with early CabVolt, Chakk, A Certain Ratio, etc.; this comp was the only CD (re)issue I didn't have...extra tracks as well.

Awaiting the new Parsons...the Create is excellent, as mentioned earlier. And I love Awen's work: yes, definitely 'retro' Berlin School derived, but extremely well done...more Schulze than TD...good stuff.

Hee, hee ...yeah, it never stops...and with the WFMU record show here in NYC w/e of 10/23, not to mention whatever's on the block the next few weeks/months release-wise, it's near impossible to keep up...but I do try.
